LIVE SHOW HYPE!!! Excuse that outburst, at first i was really confused why the next Yooka-Laylee game was a 2d platformer, and it wasn't until seeing this that i realized it's a DKC game. I was gonna sleep on this game until there was a half-off sale, and i might *still* not get it just yet, as I am still going through some secondary playthroughs of FE3H... But as soon as I finish that, I think I'll dive right in! Keep up the great work Jirard, you'll always be the best youtuber in my eyes!

@@danwolf6307 What do you mean? This game released on the switch the same day as every other console.

[@cradiculous]

Playtonic actually rolled out an update that makes getting the Golden Try less tedious. You now just flip a switch outside the Lair and you can access it bee-less at any point in the game. And they confirmed that you can get the Golden Try at any point this way, without starting a new save and going through the tutorial again.

That doesn't mean it's not _work_, and THAT's what we were discussing here. I'd say sitting for 62 hours on the same thing over and over again is pretty mentally taxing. And that's just playing the game. Apart from that, he does a lot of other things when it comes to running the business and producing the videos. Most of that has him sitting down, but the same can be said for more or less any office job. In any case, we might not see eye-to-eye on this and that's fine.

"Would you like to storm the Impossible Lair with the Beetallion? -YES! Let's go! (x out of 48 assembled) -I'll do it myself! -Not yet." Selecting "I'll do it myself!" would bring up some sort of prompt like; "Are you sure? It'd be much easier to get through it with the Beetallion at your back. -Yes! I can do it! -I'm not sure..." From there, it would restart normally if you die on the level.

I’ve been playing this game and like it a lot. I’m also looking forward to the day you tackle Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze.

[@kindaslyguy4092]

This, Jirard, is why I watch the completionist every week, to see you overcome the most impossible of challenges

[@redefinitive]

Is it just me, or does it sound like Jirard's saying "layer" just about every time he says "lair"?

[@ty_sylicus]

Sounds like a fun game. I will pick this up. Hats off to you sir for the 60+ hours of work for that Golden Tonic! AMAZING!

[@otakon17]

I have an impossible game for Jirard. Star Ocean: Till The End of Time. There is an in-game achievement for beating the final boss with a team of level 1's. Which is impossible.

[@krvys7226]

You just need to use synthesis a LOT. Final boss is easy compared to how many of the games bonus bosses. Like lenneth. (Gets PSTD at the thought of Nibelung Valesti)

[@AlmightyPolarBear]

Have fun trying to get the Platinum trophy for that game.

Yooka Laylee: *has the word "Impossible" in it* The Completionist: Nice try!! Also The Completionist: No joke, this game was impossible to complete!

Man congrats and I definitely will be voting for ya. Been watching your videos for years and got me into doing everything (within reason) in video games.

I was considering buying this on sale, im going to now but I will not be going for that last tonic.

I actually bought this earlier when I was getting something else. It was an impulse purchase. Glad I got it now. It looks amazing.

Hey Jirard, just curious, do you know when the frog in a car plushie is coming back for sale?

[@kratosnl]

Hey Jirard, did you know that Wise only did like 6 tracks, Grant did the overworld variations BUT 75% of the soundtrack was made by the new sound guys at Playtonic? They're Matt Griffin and Dan Murdoch. At lease give them some credit by mentioning their names man, they did an absolutely stellar job on this and made by far the most tunes for the soundtrack!

[@nocturnaltales4202]

So where do we vote ? Dont see any link in the description bellow

[@huntercrunch94]

The hate bandwagon for the first game got way out of hand, so I'm glad they didn't give up on the series. I thought the first game was great, and this one is too. Loving it. (I'd be willing to bet that most of the people that are still spewing hate over the first game never even played it... or they're just JonTron fanboys).

[@PDIcomics]

THEY HAD NO BUSINESS REMOVING JONTRONS VOICE JUST BECAUSE HE STUCK UP FOR WHITE PEOPLE

[@huntercrunch94]

PDIcomics I sincerely hope you’re joking.... if so, joke’s on me... but I’ll bite anyway. I fail to see how what he said was “sticking up for white people”. White people don’t need to be defended in the first place. He was just parroting white nationalist rhetoric. But I’ll be clear here. I don’t think JonTron is racist. I watched the interview where he said what he did, and in context it seemed to me like he was put on the spot with some questions almost poised to make him say something offensive. That being said, Playtonic was, at the time, a brand new first time developer. It was very understandable from a business standpoint why they didn’t want to be associated with someone who said the things he did. From what I understand, even JonTron understood why they removed his voice from the game. Also, he was making garbled noises voicing a character in a porta potty. Who cares?

Man do I love this game, also just wanted to say the Impossible Lair took me 21 attempts with all 48 bees before I finally beat it. It was one of the toughest platformer challenges I have ever faced

[@TheActs2021]

Harder than Donkey Kong C Tropical Freeze ??

[@mickmast8901]

@@TheActs2021 it was harder for me at least😆 The Impossible Lair is a 30 minute gauntlet that chewed me up and spit me out.

@@mickmast8901 Wow, i want it LOL !! Well I've played a demo of it and liked it alot. It's currently on sale in the eshop. But really a game that is too hard doesn't excite me so much but may make an exception in this case. If I can play mostly thru it I feel I will get my money's worth.

[@mickmast8901]

@@TheActs2021 The rest of the game has a great balance and isn't to hard. It's just the impossible Lair that is well impossible 🤣

[@jardex2275]

The Impossible Lair reminds me of the Temple of the Ocean King from The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. It's this big central challenge that you can push your way through at any time or go explore to find things to help you progress. Unlike the Lair, the Temple isn't meant to be done over a single attempt. You just need to be efficient enough to unlock the next shortcut before time runs out.

[@CasaiAgicap]

Did he record his perfect run of the Impossible Lair? Cuz I'd watch that.

[@tomhill3248]

Me to, he'd probably be one of the few people on earth to ever do so, he should show us the run, I LOVE perfect runs. .... You ever watch Gungeon? Enter the Gungeon?

I had NO IDEA this was even coming out. Fantastic coverage on your end, Jirad!
